LEMON GRANITA DESSERT

Italian Lemon Ice

1/2 cup sugar
2 cups water
6 to 7 fresh LEMONS (enough for 1 cup of juice)

Make a syrup by mixing sugar and water in pot.
Bring mixture to boil over medium flame. Boil for 5 minutes.
Turn off flame and allow syrup to reach room temperature.
Mix this "sugar syrup" with the one cup of FRESH LEMON JUICE.

FREEZE IN GLASS CUPS or pony glasses. ***
***Also known as cordial glass, pony glass is a stemmed glass holding 1 ounce volume for the sipping of liqueurs.
The freezing process will take about an hour or more than making ice cubes, because of the sugar content.
Serves 3


Can be doubled, etc.
Garnish with lemon verbena or mint (if you wish to be fancy).It won’t last that long.


Lemon verbena is a sun-loving herb and does well in full sun in temperate regions.
